People development
Give engineers the clarity, feedback, and support to grow.
- Coaching and career planning
- Hiring and thoughtful onboarding
- Honest feedback and performance reviews
People, product, and engineering
Good engineering starts with good teams.
My job is to create the clarity, environment, and engineering practices that help people succeed, while balancing product priorities, technical quality, and operational reliability.
Leadership philosophy
How I lead engineering teams
Create clarity. Support people. Make sound technical decisions. Help the team deliver work that matters.
Engineering excellence
Make technical quality part of how the team works.
- Architecture and code reviews
- Maintainable systems and clear boundaries
- Reliability and incremental modernization
Predictable delivery
Connect priorities and capacity to an achievable plan.
- Sprint and PI planning
- Dependencies and risk made visible
- Clear communication with Product and stakeholders
Technical strategy
Choose the technical work that moves the business forward.
- Architecture evolution and technical debt
- Cloud infrastructure and scalability
- Practical trade-offs tied to business outcomes
AI accelerates implementation. Engineering judgment decides whether the software is reliable, maintainable, and fit for purpose.
How I approach modern product engineering
Leading in the AI era
Agents write the code.
I own the outcome.
I’ve run AI-assisted delivery end to end on a production product, so I know where coding agents save weeks and where they quietly create risk. That is the judgment I bring to a team adopting them: what to delegate, what to review, and what never ships without a human reading it.

Led the engineering team behind Absorb LMS's customer data and integrations platform: scheduled data imports and exports, a custom integration service, and customer data migration.
- Managed seven engineers through hiring, coaching, performance reviews, promotions, and career planning. Made four hires and promoted one engineer to Senior.
- Owned delivery for the platform and a major data-migration initiative, aligning priorities, capacity, sprint execution, and PI planning with Product, and presenting risks and trade-offs to executives.
- Nearly tripled customer import throughput and eliminated recurring memory-depletion failures through root-cause investigation, automated recovery, and health monitoring.
- Helped the platform reach daily deployments by decoupling legacy components with NuGet wrapper packages and feature flags, coordinated with SRE and Operations.
- Transitioned infrastructure ownership to SRE, moving two specialists onto that team while my team kept onboarding and reporting.
- Recognized with two Best Team quarterly awards, plus Strategic Direction and Pathfinder recognition.
